Re: 'fair game' now |
It just seemed unimportant, compared to the gravity , and "heaviness" of your revelation . Knocked the wind our of my, usually verbose windbags .
As for Lennon, I revere and love his works , but as a world view , I find "Just Give Peace a Chance" a little naive ,( coming from a time when he couldn't make peace with Paul) though in my heart, I still want to believe, "All You Need Is Love".
As for bringing our troops home, I could pop up with the usual arguments for engagement , etc., but even I have my doubts these days .
As for being a "crunchy conservative , ( "crunchy", as in granola ), Most of my views would be characterized as conservative, but I think the earth is something we were given by God , but TO TAKE CARE OF . Not to destroy to serve our "idols of gold" . I believe in the "conserve" in conservative . One of the things that made "the good old days" good , was there was more space, less people, and the stars were not so obscured .
One friend calls me a "Ray Davies" conservative " ( listen to his "20th Century Man" , or "Village Green Preservation Society" ) . A sort of romantic conservative, who misses the past ( I mourn the disappearance of the Tiki restaurants !), but is aware of all it's downsides ( racism, painful dentistry etc .) Some of the social changes that came with the 60's I embrace, some I view more skeptically ( see later day Bob Dylan on that topic ). I have many friends to the left , and there are subjects we just avoid these days, I value my friends more than any political opinion .
Something like that...
